I did the design and illustration for Rippl's first independant game! Guardian: Tego's Fate is now available for download from the App Store.

A Dolphin's Fate is in Your Hands

Chased and hunted for meat, taken away from their pods to be shipped to zoos across the globe - the dolphin population is rapidly dwindling in numbers. This should not be the case, and something can be done. Be a hero for the dolphins.

In this game, your challenge is to protect the dolphin, Tego, in order for him to escape his hunters. Pursued with multiple spears, and nature's death spell in a thunderbolt, use your magic orbs to create mighty defense combinations and skillfully manage your power to delay time to repel these attacks. You are Tego's guardian, and you have the power to save his life.

Guardian: Tego's Fate is inspired by the 2009 Oscar winning documentary, The Cove. The documentary shines a light on the activities being carried out in Taiji, Japan, which involves the illegal fishing of dolphins. Through this effort, we hope to share the grim reality these dolphins face, and encourage people to take action and make a difference well beyond the game.
Monochrome Edition: For iPhone and iPod touch only. Guardian: Tego's Fate is a fast paced; dynamic side-scroller specifically designed for the iOS platform.

Guardian: Tego's Fate features an original soundtrack which was composed by Eliot Fish and is available for download on iTunes now.

The idea was to show the hunters and set the mood and tone of the game. Eliot Fish's soundtrack works well with the visuals.
